As Scotland’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis attracts a lot of attention, with people from the UK and overseas coming every year to make the climb.

Thousands of people do climb Ben Nevis every year, and the vast majority of them make it back down safely. However it is a demanding walk with many potential hazards and there are also accidents every year, many of which could have been avoided had the people involved been aware of the challenges involved.
